Christmas at Wetherspoon
Celebrate Christmas with some fabulously festive food, including the return of some firm favourites, alongside some brand-new festive dishes.
The Christmas menu will be available at Wetherspoon’s pubs from Thursday 12 November until Thursday 31 December (excluding Christmas Day).

Ale enthusiasts decide spoons can’t be licked
Two hundred and eighty Wetherspoon pubs have been acclaimed for the quality of their real ale – by members of the Campaign for Real Ale (CAMRA).
The pubs are listed in CAMRA’s publication The Good Beer Guide 2026, the UK’s best-selling beer and pub guide.
Pub history
It was Samuel Lloyd who began the transformation of Corby from a sleepy village, in Rockingham Forest, into a modern industrial town. Lloyd arrived here in the 1880s and, over the next 50 years, developed the new ironstone industry. Large-scale mining of ironstone was carried out at Earlestrees Quarry, now largely covered by this leisure complex. Lloyd’s Ironstone Company, later Stewart & Lloyds, dominated life in Corby until its closure in 1980.
